INEQUALITY AND GROWTH IN THE UNITED STATES: EVIDENCE FROM A NEW STATE‐LEVEL PANEL OF INCOME INEQUALITY MEASURES
Abstract
This paper introduces a new comprehensive panel of annual state‐level income inequality measures spanning the postwar period 1945–2004. For many states, the share of income held by the top decile experienced a prolonged period of stability after World War II, followed by a substantial increase in inequality during the 1980s and 1990s. This paper also presents an examination of the long‐run relationship between income inequality and economic growth. Our findings indicate that the long‐run relationship between inequality and growth is positive in nature and driven principally by the concentration of income in the upper end of the income distribution.

“…panel, we explore the long-run relationship between inequality and growth via three alternative dynamic panel error-correction estimators: the fixed effects (FE) estimator, the mean group (MG) estimator of Pesaran and Smith (1995), and the pooled MG estimator of Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (1999).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
